  • ½ tbsp White Wine Vinegar

  • Preheat oven to 475F.
  • Slice your red peppers in half, ensuring all seeds are removed. Place each half, cut-side down onto a parchment lined baking pan.

  • Peel the skin off the peppers and discard the skin.
  • Add the red peppers, sundried tomato, pecorino, garlic, cashews, and white wine vinegar in a food processor or blender. You can also use a stick/handheld blender. Pulse until it resembles a pesto.
